Top 8 Safest Cars in India 2025 – Today, safety features take preference over mileage. Several models launched in 2025 were gunning for the 5-star rating under crash tests. Hence, companies are increasing the rigidity of the body with the installation of an ADAS and multiple airbags. With safety in mind, 2025 sounds like a great year for buyers interested in procuring a safe car for the family.
Tata Curvv-Petrol/EV
Tata Curvv is entering the Indian market in 2025, which is known for styling, while build quality was always supposed to be a talking point. Curvv is almost assured to have good safety ratings, with Tata always having goodwill for safety. High-strength steel and six airbags, combined with ADAS, make the Tata Curvv a real family car. The battery protection shield, too, would add to the safety of the EV variant.
Mahindra-XUV300
The new-generation XUV300 is being built on an international n-platform and is more rigid than the present model. The previous version got a 5-star rating; however, with the expected larger safety margin, the latest version could be the most secure one yet. Strong-side impact protection structures may make it rank among the top safest vehicles in the compact SUV category, with an advanced braking system and an entire suite of current ADAS Level 1 features.
Tata Nexon
The 2025 version of Nexon will get controlled upgrades on the outside and the inside frame supports. Improvements in integrity reduce frontal and side impact encroachment into the cabin. The upgraded lane assist, automatic brakes, and ESC will be of great help for daytime city and highway driving in the Nexon. Tata will further expand the safety quotient for this model.
The Maruti eVX is a global first EV for Maruti, and paramount safety was incorporated in the development of its platform. It does have a reputation weak in terms of safety, but with eVX, Maruti wants to redeem and re-establish. This will mean battery protections, an ADAS system, and strong crash beams for a safe family EV.
Hyundai Creta EV
The major plus point for the Creta EV on being an electric platform, is its low centre of gravity. This ensures better stability and also protects the cabin during a crash. Hyundai is going to make six airbags and an ADAS suite standard on this model. This should greatly improve its prospects for safety on highways.
Honda Elevate Hybrid
The Elevate Hybrid will use a far stronger shell and structure in comparison to its standard version. The hybrid system’s weight distribution also adds to the stability of the vehicle, thereby enhancing safety. Honda is putting in extreme efforts to enhance the rigidity of the cabin, which will also further protect passengers from injury in a frontal impact.
Skoda Compact SUV
The new compact SUV model of Skoda is being built on the MQB platform that has been tested internationally. In terms of building strength, mental health is above average in the Indian context. This model is expected to come with a multi-airbag system, ESC, and a strong shell. Hence, it is fairly close to a 5-star rating.
Volkswagen will launch its Compact SUV in India in 2025. German build quality, tough steel structure, and neat handling will make it a safe SUV for daily use. With a strong crash protection tradition, VW will also target a five-star rating for this one.
